Nigeria Travel Guide

A flight to Nigeria takes city break travellers to Abuja, where shiny high-rises meet shanty towns. Overshadowed by the megalithic Aso Rock, the capital features the gold-domed Nigerian National Mosque with its minarets silhouetted at dusk. Haggle for batik, drums and beads at Wuse Market. Flights to Nigeria mean face-to-face encounters with hippos, elephants and hartebeest in Yankari National Park, where tired hikers cool off in the crystal-clear Wikki Springs. Nigeria flights take travellers to UNESCO-protected Osun Sacred Forest, hiding the shrine of river goddess Oshuno. Travel to Nigeria's north to Kano to glimpse Kano's Emir's Palace and to explore mazelike Kurmi Market. Nigeria's southern coast is great for lazing on palm-fringed Coconut Beach or crescent-shaped Tarkwa Bay near Lagos.

A flight to Nigeria reveals a country of extraordinary ethnic and culinary diversity. Breathe fire with a bowl of red-hot pepper soup in one of Abuja's 'chop' bars, or eat seafood and okra stews in coastal villages. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Nigeria. Book airline tickets to catch top events - from Afro beats and parades at Abuja Carnival in November to the ceremonial rituals of the Osun Festival in August.
